There was a limited round of midweek games in the Premier Division of the Corsham Print Wiltshire Senior League this week, with three games scheduled and played,  with one game played in Division One. In the Premier Division Kintbury Rangers moved into second spot in the table thanks to a 3-1 home win over Larkhall Athletic Development. It was 1-1 at the break but two second half goals from brothers Josh and Ben Luckett secured the three points for Kintbury, Kye Williams having scored in the first half for the home side and Thomas Dowell for the visitors. The win saw Kintbury move to within two points of leaders Letcombe with a game in hand.

Bemerton Heath Harlequins Reserves bounced back after Saturday’s heavy home loss against Kingsdown with a 2-0 victory over Shrivenham at the A-Class Arena. Goals from former Salisbury Development player Archie Ingram and Hayden Wells did the damage for Bemerton who moved up to seventh place in the table as a result of their win.

There was a high scoring game at Sutton Park where Park United were Blunsdon’s visitors. Blunsdon led 2-1 at the break thanks to goals from Nick Craft and Jamie Pidgeon. They extended their lead with a second goal from Craft early in the second half to lead 3-1, but Park staged a comeback to score four goals and take the three points. On target for Park were Lewis McCarron with two, Oliver Sterling, Ben Pring and Zac Hillier. Park have now won four of their opening six games and moved up to sixth place in the table as a result of their latest success.

Division One

The one game played in Division One was something of a one-sided local derby affair between Cricklade Town and Purton with game seeing 20 goals, 19 of which were scored by Cricklade. Having lost by an even bigger margin to Down Ampney, Purton are clearing struggling at the moment in terms of being able to field a competitive side, although arguably they have played two of the strongest sides in the division in those two heavy defeats. It was a bumper night for Cricklade’s Josh Parsons who scored 12 of those Cricklade goals, Obi Nwoke helped himself to a hat-trick and there were further goals from Harry Ayers, Ryan Latham, Daniel Dicks and Kai Robinson. The Purton consolation goal was scored by Ryan Ambler. Purton are back in action on Saturday when they entertain another side struggling at the bottom of the table, Stratton Juniors, where both sides will be hoping to turn around their difficult starts to the season. Cricklade meanwhile will have a tougher game in prospect when Devizes Town Reserves, who have won four of their opening five fixtures, are the visitors to the Leisure Centre.
